Biological Activities of Natural Products

Natural products exhibit a wide range of biological activities that have proven beneficial in drug discovery, agriculture, and the cosmetic industries. The majority of these compounds are bioactive from plants, microorganisms, and marine organisms, demonstrating antimicrobial activity, antioxidant properties, anti-inflammatory effects, anticancer potential, and immunomodulatory activity. Owing to variations in their molecular characteristics, they are capable of interacting with various biological targets, thereby producing a therapeutic effect. This abstract outlines the actions associated with these activities, particularly in the production of pharmaceuticals and health products. Understanding the biological processes utilized by natural products is essential for optimizing their effectiveness in disease management and enhancing human welfare.
